Phototransient InfraRed Holography (PIRO)

Molecules are the fundamental building blocks of life: disease is intrinsically linked to molecular malfunction and, sometimes, a tiny molecular error in a single cell can kill an organism. Drugs, such as antibiotics, are designed to protect us: they rid us of pathogens by disrupting their molecular machinery. If unsuccessful, surviving bacteria might adapt to evade future attacks and a few resistant bacteria can cause great damage. Everything mentioned above relies on specific molecular changes. A technique that could rapidly visualise them holds great promise: it would allow us to specifically target this one deadly cancer cell or adopt antibiotics treatment before resistance emerges.…
